Clueless in Las Las Vegas: Culinary Union Loses Big Time To Station Casinos

From the LVRJ: The National Labor Relations Board has upheld an administrative law judge's dismissal of six out of seven unfair labor practices allegations against Station Casinos LLC, including a complaint made by the board itself last year.
The complaint was issued in October, a Station Casinos executive said Friday. Culinary Workers Union Local 226, which has tried without successful for 15 years to organize 13,000 Station employees, filed the charges.
Of the seven allegations heard by the NLRB, six allegations of threatening an employee for engaging in union activities were dismissed after the judge determined no supervisor was present during the alleged incident or that testimony by a union witness lacked credibility.
"We are very pleased that all but one of the allegations presented to the NLRB were found without merit," Valerie Murzl, senior vice president of human resources, said in a statement.
The NLRB issued its ruling late Thursday in Washington, D.C. The only allegation the NLRB let stand involved a Palace Station supervisor warning a employee to be quiet during a meeting, saying that if he didn't comply, he would be the next to be discharged.
The NLRB settled the case by ordering Station Casinos to post a "Notice to Employees" assuring workers the company will not interfere with their right to engage in union activity. The order covered only Palace Station, where the violation occurred.

This is a slam dunk and should have been an embarrassment to the Culinary Union , but the Culinary president has not a clue in the world:  "This is a victory for all workers in Las Vegas and across the country," said Culinary Union President Geoconda Arguello-Kline, in a statement. "It shows no matter how rich and powerful a company may think it is, the law protects workers against abuse."
Hey, clueless in Las Vegas, you lost, you got your collective butts kicked and even the Obama NLRB couldn't side with or save you.
And to the Culinary union members, why do you pay union dues to these rich union morons?  They steal your dues and then live the lavish lifestyle, something you don't get to do.  These union thugs get rich off of the hard work of the casino workers but can't even win a court case with the liberal NLRB. Finally, the dues you pay are used to harass Station Casinos and even if they beat Station, it has benefit to you.  The only reason the Culinary Union is going after Stations is to line the union leader's pockets.
So, one case down, and several more to go and the union will lose most of the cases and be a complete embarrassment to unions everywhere.  And the union leaders and members are just totally clueless.
